Too many times I have had coffee with guys who have decided to leave their wives because of irreconcilable differences. When I asked them if they have considered marriage counseling many of these guys will say it wouldn't work. They would rather throw away their marriages, wreck havoc on their children and force their children into a life time of marriage and remarriage because their dad or mom refused to stay married. I have sat across from who have had an addiction to Porn and I have seen it wreck their wives.
Where is our desire to love our wife like Christ loved the Church? We must stand up for the sanctity of marriage by loving our wife no matter how difficult time we are having in our marriage. Even when the unthinkable happens and YOU lose your child through a tragic circumstance YOU must remain committed to your wife EVEN when there are days you can't look at her because of overwhelming sadness. Just because the world is encouraging sex and pornography does not make it right. We must walk with Christ at all times and defy what the world is encouraging us to do. We must walk the walk and talk the talk.
Guys, we must defend the sanctity of marriage by holding guys accountable for their marriages. Do not simply let them throw their marriages away because their spouse has put on a little too much weight, or isn't as pretty as the single gal at the office.
ReplyDeleteAs married men we need to avoid any temptation by refusing to meet alone with a woman even if she is a business associate. If we travel we must make sure we have a group of Christian guys in another city who will keep us accountable. Do not give temptation a foot hold.
